This morning, I thought of an experiment. Some Marketing-Freaks tell you "If you want people to do something, tell them they are not able or not allowed to do it". For example a very popular ad in Germany for a fashion company just showed some fashion and only 2 words: "Sorry, expensive."

So I thought it could be interesting to try this here and post an entry "Don't vote this post up". Let's see, how it performs.

aren't you defeating the fairness of this test by telling us its purpose?
ps: Please don't vote this post up, even if you think these yedi-mind-tricks work and are better then telling people directly what to do.
